Charlene and her son Gary worked together and had developed a combative relationship after Willy, Gary's father and Charlene's husband died in a tragic accident. Gary had reportedly been abusing his mother both verbally and physically, one day when he answered the phone to her boyfriend, he told him that his mother "didn't look too good". The police arrived and found that she had been shot in the head 22 times. This unsolved murder went round in circles suggesting that either the son or the boyfriend had in fact committed the crime.
